3. Site's own stability, what script is is built on, is that upgradeable, sustainable in the long run?

All of what you said applies in the mainstream as well.
1. Free porn has been everywhere for the last 15 years. So?
2. Majority of sponsors I deal with (and I deal with a lot) have paid. I've seen maybe 1% of payments not collected and I really deal with a lot of them.
3. All of what you said applies to mainstream as well.
I'd say more than not it's closed industry and sellers have little alternatives. Not like in mainstream where you can sell outside the niche easily.
